Nikon D3 Sample Photos : During a short stay in Florence, Italy, I used the new Nikon D3 professional digital SLR camera mainly in the evening and on many beautiful historical places, mostly inside museums and old buildings, to take a number of test pictures. Already various reactions of preproduction model testers and professional photographers have been published and in general one can say that the Nikon D3 is an impressive new Digital SLR and a strong weapon for Nikon to (re)gain their share of the professional photography market. I have used the Nikon D3 in combination with the new AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED and the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses and additionally the 10.5mm f/2.8G ED DX Fisheye Nikkor. Take a look at our Nikon D3 sample photos!

Nikon D3 - Storage and Card slots
The Nikon D3 is the world’s first D-SLR to offer dual CompactFlash card slots for outstanding storage flexibility. A digital photographer can shoot images to each card one after the other, or simultaneously, as back up. When shooting combined NEF + JPEG files, the NEF image can be written to one card and the JPEG version to the other. Image files can also be selected and copied from one card to the other after shooting.

The Nikon D3 is the first full-frame or in other words; FX, digital SLR camera of the assortment. Before the Nikon FX camera was revealed, some negative talk went on about an eventual step to a 35mm format sensor. Wasn't it true that Nikon had entirely chosen for the DX format? Well, in fact, they had not. Nikon never shut the door on the FX format and one could expect an assortment of DX and FX sensors to appear eventually. The moment the first experiences of photographers using the new D3 on the level it is meant for appeared and the appearance of the first test pictures, things were clear at once. The new Nikon D3 DSLR camera made worldwide such an impression that the past was quickly forgotten and that attention was paid only to the new product and its impressive specifications. Well done Nikon!
